At our inspection in January 2024, OFSTED reported that:
Children enjoy their time at pre-school and develop secure relationships with staff,
who are immensely caring. Children and staff have fun together. For instance, a
child asks a member of staff to help her draw a picture of a dog. The member of
staff follows the child’s instructions carefully. They take turns to draw each body
part of the dog and laugh together at the pictures they create. This demonstrates that children feel safe, secure, and develop a sense of belonging.Children develop a love of stories and rhymes. This not only supports their language development but also helps children make connections within their learning. For instance, staff make story times fully interactive.
They ask children lots of questions about what they have heard and what they can see. Staff help secure children’s understanding further by linking the story to real-life experiences.
For example, staff connect the footprints in the story with the footprints children made in the garden earlier in the day.Staff have high expectations of children’s behaviour and help them develop a clear
understanding of the rules and why these are important. For example, during
welcome time children recall what they remember about each rule. Staff validate
children’s contributions, before providing clear explanations to promote safety and
well-being. For instance, children learn that listening to adults helps keep them
safe. This supports children to make good decisions.
Our philosophy:
- We understand that all children are individual and they all develop at their own pace.
- We have a wide range of resources to stimulate each child, and encourage them to develop to their full potential during their pre-school years.
- Children are fully supported as they develop in all seven areas of the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework.
We look forward to welcoming you and your child to Triangle Pre-School.
